I disagree with Rick Strahl. There are times XML is advantageous, and times JSON is advantageous. If you're doing only data processing, JSON is better. If you're interacting with people who may need to view the data in its stored form, XML is better. XML is easier to understand, and it's worth the extra programming overhead to keep both parsers in your project based on people needs, and data needs, if you have more than trivial people needs.
